Failed dependencies (installation problem in Fendora 10)

I'm totally new to Linux (especially Fedora). I've downloaded the rpm version of Crossover and installed it:


rpm -i crossover-standard-demo-7.1.0-1.i386.rpm

I received the following errors:


error: Failed dependencies:
        ld-linux.so.2 is needed by crossover-standard-demo-7.1.0-1.i386
    libICE.so.6 is needed by crossover-standard-demo-7.1.0-1.i386

    libm.so.6 is needed by crossover-standard-demo-7.1.0-1.i386
    libutil.so.1 is needed by crossover-standard-demo-7.1.0-1.i386

So I read up and people told me that I should update my libraries. So I did this, just my libX11 through a Transaction Check Error at the end.
I tried it again and received the the same problems.

Could anyone help?
And please, I'm new to Linux (so I know nothing), so please explain as good as you can.

Thanks for any help!!

it looks like you're probably using a 64-bit edition of Fedora 10, and that what you need are the 32-bit versions of all of those libraries. Crossover is a 32-bit application, and our rpm installer for the current release doesn't do a very good job of pulling down the necessary dependencies on its own (the rpm installer for the upcoming Crossover 8.0 will fix this problem).

I think the easiest thing for you to do is to install wine through yum. The wine installation will bring with it all (or almost all) of the necessary 32-bit libraries that Crossover will need. You can find wine by opening a terminal and entering

$ yum search wine

Once wine is successfully installed, try installing Crossover from the .rpm installer, again.

Oh, damm. I'm so stupid. Yes. I have a 64bit version. And thats way nothing wants to install.
